President’s Message
Aloha, ASID Hawaii Chapter Members:
I am honored to represent the Hawaii Chapter of ASID for this 2020-2021 Board Year. Our board is working hard to provide new and exciting events, activities, and opportunities for our members. For the coming year, we plan to focus on supporting our design students and emerging professionals, while continuing to bring awareness to the interior design profession, made up of our talented and dedicated local designers. Please look forward to a calendar of events and sponsorship package within the upcoming month.
Our friends at Bella Pietra will be hosting a virtual new product introduction with Ernie from Artistic Tile for designers and architects. The presentation will be on Thursday, October 29 at 10am. If you are interested in attending, please contact Meagan Jensen at meagan@bellapietra.com and a Zoom invitation will be provided.
The Design Excellence Awards winners and honorees will officially be announced on Wednesday, October 28, 2020 at 5:00pm. We apologize for the long wait. Our Design Awards Committee members have been working diligently to create a unique and impactful way to highlight and honor the work of our design professionals. Please join us in watching our first ever Design Awards video, which will be available for viewing on YouTube and on our website. Link to the video will be provided later.
We will be accepting nominations for our upcoming election in January. The board positions available are Communications Director, Professional Development Director, Financial Director, and President Elect. These two-year terms will start on October 1, 2021.

One Voice
Each day interior designers use their voices and visions to reshape spaces--and therefore the lives of those occupying them--for the better. With those same voices working in unison, they have the power to design a better future for themselves and the entire profession. That is why ASID began One Voice; to empower interior designers to get involved and advocate for or against the public policy that will ultimately influence their careers and lives.

Modsy’s New Tool is an E-Design Breakthrough
Business of Home
One afternoon this summer, while sheltering in place in a borrowed home in upstate New York, I held up my iPhone to film and performed a slow, almost ritualistic walk around the perimeter of the living room. A few days later, I received a file: a 3D model of the room, decorated in a pleasantly cozy style. The rendering was shockingly accurate, down to the dark wood bannister. The only discrepancy? In the image, there was sunshine pouring in through the windows. In real life, it had been a flat gray day.
Become a Chapter Sponsor
ASID Hawaii Chapter strives to work in support of our local interior designers by providing opportunities for continuing education, advocacy for the profession, social events and recognition of Design Excellence through our annual awards gala. While a small portion of our annual membership fees provides seed money for these activities, it is through annual sponsorships from our collaborative team of design firms and industry partners that the financial and personalized support is found to realize the programs and functions the membership expects.
As a sponsor of ASID Hawaii, your company can engage with members, participate in events, host meetings, and sponsor activities. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to increase visibility through additional marketing, branding, special access, and deeper engagement with ASID members. Sponsorship is an excellent opportunity for your business to gain exposure and showcase your products and services to our local interior design community.
